It’s been a while, but tonight Gloria’s feeling pretty good. She plans to head over to McNamara’s for a tipple of sherry.
Sitting on the stool in front of her dressing table, she turns her head this way and that, admiring her image in the mirror. After tucking a few errant hairs into the clasp at the nape of her neck, she reaches for the jar of color in front of her. She carefully smoothes a dollop of Silver Pink Minx over her lips.
Gloria flashes a sexy little pout at her image.
Looking good, baby. You’ve still got it!

This is my offering for Velvet Verbosity's 100-Word Challenge. The prompt this week is "jar."
Ha! I like your sense of humor. And, you know what? She probably does still "have it"; and even if some others out there think she doesn't, SHE thinks she does. And yay for her. Attitude.
ReplyDeleteCute post Patti! I like it. I hope to be there one day too.
ReplyDeleteWell YES She does... in fact... that beauty is insidde... no dobt, and wrinkles just reminds us of how experienced we've become
ReplyDeletegreat post dear Patti!
:)
My face puckered up, just LOOKING at that last shot! It wasn't a good kinda pucker, either.
ReplyDeleteOy.
This is so charming :) As Satchel Paige said, "Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter."
ReplyDeleteJanice: I agree. I just love attitude. I always admired Vivica Lindfors for her wild gray hair and obvious belief in her sexuality. I wanted to be just like her. But damn, my hair just won't curl like that.
ReplyDeletekkrige: Don't rush it, my friend. It will come all too soon.
Dulce: Yes! Experience! That's what it is. Yeah, yeah.
Ti: I think you have to be about eighteen to pull off the sexy pout. After that, not so much. ;-)
Sam: Heh, that's easy for you to say, old man. ;-)
Thank you all for visiting and your kind comments. I really appreciate it.
I was not prepared for that last shot. I think I scared the cat I laughed so hard. Fabulous 100 words!
ReplyDeleteTara: Sorry about the cat (I'm totally a cat person!), but I'm so glad you liked it. It's raining here, so lighthearted and funny are good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...100, that's all I got to say about that. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Aw. We can all be Viveca Lindfors I say!
ReplyDeleteits all about the attitude...and by that i bet she still has it...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI really like this!! Very clever and amusing!!! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable. Love your sense of whimsy here. I will be wearing my silver pink minx until they pry it from my cold dead hands. :) Great job.
ReplyDeleteHah! Great 100 words. The hope and happiness of the piece brought a huge smile to my face.
